I have officially gone over my half way point of 50lbs. I started working out and watching what I ate in 2/09. When I started my goal was 50lbs for the year (one pound a week) and a total of 100 in 2 years. Well with my trainer and MFP I have been able to exceed that. I have made this a whole lifestyle change not some quick fix which has helped. I also believe that until you are mentally prepared to make the change you will not go through with it no matter what anyone says.

Jan 12th 2009 - 242 lbs (size 20)

    Thanks everyone. It is amazing how your priorities will change. I went from having to run home to catch a tv show to having to run home so I can get to the gym.
